Destruction

Hannafergs 2004 (Edinburgh)



I do not believe you're undoing will be a warrior with the strength of a thousand men, or even Samael on his dark wings of death. No you're killer will be the one to show you a small kindness. I wonder what manner of gesture will be you're undoing. A rose perhaps, to crack the walls of your heart? Or a gentle kiss to throw open the gates. Even a helping hand that will break down your barriers. No dear sister, I do not believe you can keep this icy rage locked within you. For you have prepared for every possibility but one, kindness. And kindness, will be your killer.
